FL8 4 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 It's hard to understand today's squad, but hope that RDM knows what he's doing. For me, Lampard wasn't that bad with Reading, to substitute him with Raul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Have a feeling we're going to sit back and try and get them on the counter attack... hope not.If that's the case RDM won't be manager start of next season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Wonder what Sturridge is thinking and feeling.That he's a Liverpool player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane 2,275 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Lampard is 34 and played two games already this week. Time to face the reality of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wavy Crockett 190 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 is Marin our only real option at the left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couris 232 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Meireles and bertrand... awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I support trying different options in the double pivot, but it should be Essien or Romeu, not Meirels.No other complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinol 337 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 My only dissapointment is that Mereiles is in the team. Time to bet on how many wrong passes he will make? I think about 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 The fact that RDM has Mikel and Merieles in the holding 2 shows he is really aware of the attacking threat they pose. Can understand his thinking and analysis of Newcastle, we don't want a repeat of last year. Hopefully another brilliant performance, as usual looking forward to seeing Hazard especially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,957 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Nothing against Bertrand but Meireles? Mikel-Meireles gives us absolutely nothing in terms of attacking, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Lampard is 34 and played two games already this week. Time to face the reality of it.Lampard should probably only be playing once a week or so, so no problem with him sitting, just not sure why we played him and Ramires against Reading and not the tougher Newcastle game. RDM loved having a defensive player in the attacking third. If you look at the game against Reading, Bertrand played a more like a second LB than an attacking midfielder. His average position was basically the same as Cole's and apart from two runs, he didn't get forward. It's a very defensive formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea? 892 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Well at Chelsea the manager isn't top dog, so Atleast situations like this can be dealt with quickly if results fail to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
